    As you are asking for greatest XV (ie combination), not greatest players to play, this is what I would field to win a hypothetical match. Have assumed also at their playing ability while in WA, not before or after.

    1. Gareth Hardy
    2. Tai McIsaac
    3. Tim Fairbrother
    4. John Welborn
    5. Nathan Sharpe
    6. Matt Hodgson
    7. David Pocock
    8. Ben McCalman

    9. Matt Henjak
    10. James Hilgendorf
    11. Digby Ioane
    12. James O'Connor
    13. Scott Staniforth
    14. Nick Cummins
    15. Cameron Shepherd

    16. Brendan Cannon
    17. Pek Cowan
    18. David Pusey
    19. Richard Brown
    20. Justin Turner
    21. Matt Giteau
    22. Drew Mitchell

    It's a tough one to call. Do you base it on current form or form when they were at the Force?

    Matt Giteau for example has played a lot better in the past than he is at the moment, whereas Digby Ioane is a far better all round player now than when he was at the Force. Cam Shepherd has seen much better days too.

    No, just remembering how to count to 22 correctly.

    Whats with the Matt Henjak love?

    He had an awful season in 2006 and while 2007 was better he still wasn't great.

    I count from 1 - 22.

    Unlike Drew Mitchell who had trouble playing blackjack in the Canberra casino when he realised to count to 21, he had to take off his shoes and socks and drop his daks.
